Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street in the heart of historic Capitol Hill, this unique Federal-style residence seamlessly blends timeless character with contemporary design. Featuring two spacious bedrooms and a thoughtfully renovated bathroom, this home offers the perfect balance of comfort and city convenience, just steps from DC’s most iconic landmarks. The main level showcases an open-concept design with high ceilings, a crisp, neutral palette, and abundant natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere ideal for modern living and entertaining. The chef-inspired kitchen has been tastefully updated with premium stainless-steel appliances (Miele and Fischer Paykel), creating a stylish and highly functional workspace. The living room’s built-in shelving provides both function and charm where you can display some of your favorite items and books.
